How to pass javascript variables into jelly tags?

Community Alums · ‎02-02-2016

I am calling my UI Page within iFrame. When I try to do ${RP.getParameterValue('sys_id')}, it is not returning the sys_id of the incident record. I think its because the UI Page is within iFrame. So, with javascript I was able to get the part of the url (Incident sys_id). Now, I want to use this sys_id in my jelly to query the incident table and display all values.

example: https://something.something.com/ess/incident_created.do?sys_id=13ecc01637915e0006c11f9543990e0a

var cmshelp_url = top.location.href;

var help_sysid = cmshelp_url.substr(cmshelp_url.length-32);

</script>

<j:set var="jvar_inc" value="${help_sysid}" /> // THIS IS NOT WORKING. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

inc.addQuery('sys_id', jelly.jvar_inc);

inc.query();

</g:evaluate>

Try this out Rajinis !!!!

It would definitely work as I have used it before on CMS:

Pass value from URL To UI Page / Macro / Record Producer

#1: Using: JS

Assume iFrame URL has : &req_type=SOMETHING

UI page can have a script like:

function onLoad() {

var url = window.location.toString();

var parms = url.toQueryParams();

if (parms["req_type"] == "SOMETHING") {

/* do something here */

}

OR

#2 Using: Jelly

Assume iFrame URL has : &pointer_name=counter

<j:set var="jvar_pointer" value="${RP.getParameterValue('pointer_name')}" />

<j:if test="${jvar_pointer == 'counter'}">

<p>Hello World! - ${jvar_pointer}</p>

/* do something here */

</j:if>

Hope this help!

Hi rajinis,

Can you please change your parameter name and try?

https://something.something.com/ess/incident_created.do?syparm_sys_id=13ecc01637915e0006c11f9543990e...

UI Page code should be

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

gs.log("incident_created${sysparm_sysid}");

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

inc.addQuery('sys_id', '${syparm_sys_id}');

inc.query();

</g:evaluate>

Hi Rajinis,

In addition, you may find the below thread helpful.

I just do this:

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

inc.addQuery('sys_id', "${help_sysid}");

inc.query();

</g:evaluate>
